The efficiency was very high for the first submission to Plant Physiology and Biochemistry. The manuscript was submitted on June 30, with feedback from the editor on July 2, and went under review on July 4. It was returned with minor revisions on August 4, but there were several issues raised by the three reviewers. The revised version was submitted on August 12 and finally accepted on August 20.

Recently, there has also been a change in the editor-in-chief, and now the way articles are obtained has also changed. Given your situation, there is indeed a strong suspicion of manipulation.

How did it all become OA? It's so difficult to find a suitable non-OA journal to submit to now! No wonder my first two submissions were rejected without review. It's very likely they just want to delay until September; based on my experience, both of my articles should have been sent out for review. Fortunately, one of them has been published in a journal of equivalent level, and the other is undergoing minor revisions.

As long as the submission is before September 1st, subsequent acceptance can choose between OA or non-OA. If the submission is after September 1st, subsequent acceptance will be fully OA, with APC payment.

Colleagues who have articles ready for submission or are planning to submit need to act quickly. Starting September 1, 2025, the magazine will implement full Open Access (OA) and author publication charges (APC) will be mandatory. Before this date, authors can still choose between OA and non-OA options.

I submitted two articles consecutively this year, without external review. However, they were rejected directly after editor evaluation, which made me sad! I thought I could continue the good luck from the previous article, which was accepted by the editor without any modifications after 8 months of external review! The requirements of the journal have been getting higher this year, almost catching up with PJ, JXB, and PCE. Hopefully, next year we can be included in the first tier of the Chinese Academy of Sciences.

Can PPB not recommend reviewers now?

Excuse me, how is it going back there? I suspect I have encountered the same disgusting editor as you.

As a non-OA top journal in the second district, the review speed is considered quite fast. The review comments came back in just one month. The reviewers asked for additional experimental data, which took a month to collect. After resubmitting the revised manuscript, only minor revisions were requested before acceptance. The Impact Factor of PPB has also remained stable above 6 in the past two years, and we hope to push it into the first district.

The first sci, to commemorate, was submitted in May of 23, rejected in the second round and resubmitted, rejected again at the end of the year. After making some improvements, it was submitted again in December of 24 and went online yesterday. The entire process improved my article, and I am grateful for the very professional advice given by the reviewer of another journal, which made my article more complete. Thanks to ppb, editors and reviewers, and I wish ppb continued success!!

The speed is acceptable, the comments on the manuscript are pertinent, and the acceptance will be around 4 months.

Not bro, I have made three changes from September 24th to now and you still want me to make minor adjustments, what do you mean?

The first review could not find a reviewer all along, and after waiting for five months, it was directly rejected but encouraged to resubmit (minor revisions, major revisions), after one month of modifications and replying to all comments, resubmission was made. Now, because of the inability to find a reviewer or the reviewer has run away, it has been more than four months and still in under review status, what should I do??? Seriously wronged, be cautious in submitting, feeling that small authors have no rights...
